How to manage global demand of a manufactured part

Hi ​@Anneemaree,

Will appreciate if you could add more context or details to your requirement and the objectives, you are looking for.

would like to see summarized demand for a part at a global level.  like inventory part availability but not to have site as a filter in the header.  and then the supply and demand lines would have to display site.  

​@Anneemaree, you can refer to the Inventory Parts Availability Planning screen, and additionally summary could also be enabled for Demand/Supply columns.

Other option is to configure a quick report.

​@Anneemaree ,

Managing global demand for a manufactured part in IFS typically depends on how you structure your supply chain and planning setup.

A few common approaches:

• Use Multi-site planning (MSP) or supply chain matrix to connect sites and allow demand to be visible across locations

• Define distribution networks so demand in one site can trigger supply from another

• Use central planning (MRP/CRP) to consolidate demand and generate supply proposals

• Consider using a main supplying site or “hub” that produces the part and distributes to other sites

Also ensure:

• Inter-site demand and supply parameters are correctly configured

• Lead times and transfer routes are defined

In general, global demand is handled through planning + inter-site supply setup rather than a single “global demand” feature.

Thanks
